How To Stay Calm Despite Being Single

Are you panicking about your single status? If so, Sheila Paxton can help!

Are you starting to freak out about being single? Worried that you'll never meet Mr. Right? Afraid your dreams of marriage and babies were all for naught? If so, it's time to take a deep breath.

In this video, dating coach and YourTango Expert Sheila Paxton explains that "in a society that's moving as fast as ours is," it's normal to feel like time is passing you by.

So, what can you do? Sheila suggests taking a step back for a second and considering the possibility that you're exactly where you need to be in this particular moment. Do not stress over being single for a long period of time. This situation is not permanent, it is just what you are going through right now. Worry about the present not the future. Enjoy being in the moment and put the thoughts about the future on hold. If you are constantly talking about the future while on a date the person you are with can sense that. It makes them believe that you are very clingy and no one wants to deal with a clingy person.
